International Women’s Day at Farm Arts Collective

Farm Arts Collective will hold an International Women’s Day celebration on Saturday March 8th from 3:00-5:00 PM at the Agri-Cultural Center on Willow Wisp Organic Farm. The event invites a diverse and dynamic ecosystem of women in our community to an afternoon of performance, presentations, food, and interactive activity. All women in our community are invited. The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day around the planet is: ACCELERATE ACTION

To open the event, Tannis Kowalchuk, artistic director of Farm Arts Collective will share an excerpt from her solo play “Decompositions.”  Following the performance, an eclectic mix of local women will offer a brief sharing of their work– guests will include Nina Burleigh of the American Freakshow SubStack, Adrienne Jensen of the Rural & Migrant Ministry, Susan Mendoza of The Chi Hive and Flirty Riot, Amy and Iris Gillingham of the mother-daughter duo of Wild Roots and Gael Roots Farm, Barbara Arrindell of Damascus Citizens for Sustainability, and Clarissa Wimmers of the Wayne County Food Pantry. Facilitated by Amy Milin of Swift Waters Creative Retreat.

Farm Arts Collective invites and encourages all women in our community to be a part of the uniting effort, to share in conversation, share your projects and ideas, and meet one another. Following farm fresh food and presentations, all women present will be invited to engage in an interactive activity that invites the sharing of their own vision for ACTION and TRANSFORMATION.

Entrance is Pay-What-You-Can.

All women receive a flower upon entrance.
